Crabitat For Humanity


I got a comment from Michelle for one of last weeks posts. She has all sorts of info on her blog about hermit crabs. I got some good advice, and I noticed something really cool in her habitats. She made hemp nets and hammocks for her hermit crabs to play on.

I got really excited! I don't have hemp but I have cotton, so I decided to try my hand at making crabitat nets for my guys. I really appreciate her idea, and I am psyched now about the habitat.
This will give me new ways to create cool high-level areas for the crabs!



I made my nets rainbow.

So my rainbow corner bridge is set. Now it is time for a platform!

I made a platform with a hole in it so the bridge could go through it and connect both slings.


I sprayed down the platform with water, and formed it into the sag I wanted. The rainbow ramp is attached to the little log.
By putting in this sling platform I create shadows for a sense of security for Crust and Crabby Jack, and the moistened platform holds enough moisture to keep the humidity nice and high.
I used to have to turn off the light for a while so the crabs would come out and feed. Now the shadows will allow me to keep the warm dayglow light on all the time.


Now I hope they will make use of my little slings!
